With the Heart of Alchemy in place, the Immortality Engine is complete. Now, all Otto needs is to learn how to use it.

The secret to immortality can be found in only one place: the Sanguine Scroll.

Written by the first and greatest Arcane Lord Amet Sur, the scroll services as a manual for the engine among other things.

But Otto isn’t the only one seeking the scroll.

The race is on to see who will claim its secrets first.

just finished the story and it's ok

overall the story is fun, the main problem is that the writing and word choice are very simplistic. there is some good emotional growth from some of the characters but again the logic and choices are often very weakly justified.

on the whole I'd recommend it.

Wounderful Book Series!

loved this series of books absolutely amazing I look forward to reading more titles from this author.

nteresting conclusion to this phase of the story

uninteresting swords and sorcery series well worth a read lots of plot twists and some character development...
good and evil are clouded among the characters.... the author does have a whole new direction if he wants to take it or he can leave it alone for a while.... there's the future of his wife a child-sired in wedlock... a vast empire that suddenly is far apart do they develop a Navy do they develop an army whose new role is the protection of commerce... do some of the older characters die off or are they renewed by the life-giving machine...
are there new characters further development of some interesting side characters... I could see a whole new series of books if the author hasn't been burned out... the audio performance was good

I enjoy parts of this series

(possible spoilers) I like some concepts of this series. However I feel like I was let down for the main story arc. I would have liked to see what would have happened had the main character actually achieved them. So I feel rather let down by that.

Meh

A bit of a letdown compared to the previous books in the series. If this is the end, I feel I have wasted money and time on the series. Hopefully, there is another book or 2

Another great one

This series is coming together for a fantastic conclusion. The world building and character development has been great. If you’re looking fir an escape, then look no further.

yeah

loved the book some times i feel like otto could have been a little less of a butthole but i under stand why he was like that

A huge disappointment

This book was stuffed with filler. I couldn't even finish it. it took almost half of the book for the main character to even show up. This book, and the one before it were huge letdowns.

first half of the book is filler

main character doesn't even really show up until after 3 hours of the 6 hour book and you have to remember that this series jumps point of views. so the last 3 hours won't be all the MC. so less than half of the book really involves the MC's pov.

Stop with the extras

I know the author,s intent. But 4 or 5 chapters in an no main character. Will force my way through, but over all the series is a one star.
